Diamond Planet

To delay
Would be
Averse
Destiny
And time
Adverse

Shiny planet
Time reverse
Years behind
To go
Traverse

Diamond waiting
Time pervading
Knowing nothing
Spinning
Waiting

All persuading
Frozen places
Dense as iron
Telling
Traces

Crystalline
It waits for us
Years to come
And haste for us

Will this planet
Yield its wealth
Forever lie
In cold
And stealth?
